13 Years Later...

The number 13 has such negative connotations in general that it is often used as an excuse for things going awry. I guess it is easier to blame it on a number than any other person or circumstances.

But yesterday was a celebration of our 13 years of marriage. It has been 13 years since we said our "I dos". It has even been longer since we laid eyes on each other.

So, was it an unlucky number for us? As with any marriage, things have not always been rosy and sweet. We have had our hell-raising moments of arguments and disagreements. After all, two people can't always see eye-to-eye all the time, can they? But what I have taken away from all our years of being together, and raising one amazing child in the process, is that it takes more than just feeling you are like "two peas in a pod". Besides relying on God's grace and having faith that His plans are bigger than yours, I have learnt to genuinely accept our flaws and embrace our differences. I believe that it takes a real couple to be able to surmount the obstacles they face and not blunder in the face of adversities.

And so here we are
Still together
13 years later.

Happy anniversary, baby!
